FETA AND BLACK BEAN BURGERS
2 tbsp ghee
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 tins of black beans (drained weight 500 g)or 500 g homecooked beans
(dried weight 200g, activated overnight)
100 g chestnut flour (or buckwheat flour)
1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
170 g sun-dried tomatoes chopped
a handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1 tbsp chopped jalapeño peppers or fresh chillies
100 g feta, chopped
sea salt

1 Preheat the oven to fan 180°C/Gas mark 6.
2 Heat the ghee in a pan over a medium heat and fry the onion until softened but not coloured. Stir in the garlic and cook for a few minutes before adding the
drained cooked beans.
3 Mash the beans roughly with the back of a wooden spoon so that their excess moisture evaporates in the heat of the pan.
4 Transfer the bean mix to a bowl then stir in the flour and mix well to combine everything together.
5 Gently fold in the rest of the ingredients and check for seasoning, adding a little salt, if needed, or more jalapeños or chillies, if you like.
6 When the mixture is cool enough to handle, form the mixture into 8 burgers using your hands to shape them.
7 Lay the burgers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper then flatten each burger so that they are about 2 cm thick.
8 Bake the burgers in the oven for about 50 minutes until crisp on the outside and golden brown, turning them over halfway through the cooking time.
